I received a query in the mail about a Solaris installation of M2Crypto:

bash-2.03$ ldd *.so
        libssl.so.0.9.7 =>       /esdev/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7
        libcrypto.so.0.9.7 =>    /esdev/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
        libgcc_s.so.1 =>         /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libmp.so.2 =>    /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
        /usr/platform/SUNW,UltraAX-i2/lib/libc_psr.so.1

On my FreeBSD boxen, I get

./__m2crypto.so:
        libssl.so.3 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.3 (0x28134000)
        libcrypto.so.3 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3 (0x28163000)

The sender (hi!, if you're reading this ;-), is wondering if the output is
typical for a Python extension on a Solaris box, and if the presence of the
libgcc_s.so line is "normal"? 

Any idea? 

TIA. Cheers.
